Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Vitamin D can be given in daily maintenance or in bolus doses. In bolus doses 3 or 6 lakh IU are given intramuscularly once a month for 3 such. On the other hand, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 600 IU although the true safe upper limit is 10,000 IU/day.
